I bought what looks to be the same one at Auto Zone.  Just make sure it 
comes with all the caps!  My local A.Z. has taken to removing them and 
stashing behind the counter, due to too many walking out the door.

Previously, I was using an open-topped pan.  Realized I was spending too 
much effort and making too much pollution transferring it to a jug, 
mopping out the pan, etc.  Plus I like to cut open oil filters for 
inspection occasionally, and it's easy to leave them on top for an 
extended draining.
